... as you probably all have noticed.  I've been up all night writing

this report for the "CS Course from Hell" (*), and haven't had time to

play with linux.  I'll get it done tonight if I can keep awake that

long. 


In case anybody still wonders, 0.98.3 mainly fixes the NULL pointer and

most of the serial line problems.  I also started to remove some of the

more unnecessary cli-sti pairs (where races could be avoided by doing it

some other way), so it's possible interrupt latency is better, but I

doubt it's noticeable.

aren't fooling anybody.
